On July 28, Raul Mascote, former Secretary-Treasurer of IAM Local 2458, was sentenced to 30 months in prison and two years of supervised release for embezzling nearly $65,000 in union funds. In addition, he also admitted stealing, or otherwise converting for his own use without authorization, over $500,000 in US government property. He had already paid restitution for the first amount and was also ordered to pay restitution for the second amount. This was the second IAM official convicted of embezzlement in the month of July.
